Disable gamebar prompt in remote desktop

in SQL Prompt
While connect to a machine through remote desktop, whenever I hit CTRL to open the "quick launch menu"  (the one to do things such as unformat, insert snippets, etc.) The menu in windows 10 "Select to broadcast your game / Select to capture what you just did" flashes across the screen. This only happens in remote desktop.

Is there a way to stop this from happening with SQL Prompt?

    It didn't happen in my test with Prompt installed.

    Could you share a picture of what do you see after hit CTRL to open the quick launch menu?
    Kind regards

    It seems like you're encountering a peculiar issue with remote desktop connections and the Windows 10 "quick launch menu" interfering with SQL Prompt. This flashing behavior may be due to the way remote desktop handles certain key combinations. One potential solution could involve adjusting the remote desktop settings to prevent the Windows 10 gaming features from triggering when you press CTRL. Alternatively, you might explore configuring SQL Prompt to use a different key combination for its quick launch menu to avoid this conflict in fc mobile latest version altogether.

    It sounds like the Windows Game Bar is being triggered when you’re using remote desktop, likely due to a key combination that's interpreted as a gaming shortcut. To disable this prompt, follow these steps:

    1. Disable Game Bar: Open Windows Settings → Gaming → Game Bar. Toggle off the option for "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar."

    2. Turn Off Game Mode: In the same Gaming section, go to "Game Mode" and turn it off if it's enabled. This may prevent the Game Bar from being triggered during remote desktop sessions.

    3. Registry Edit (if needed): If the issue persists, you can disable the Game Bar via the registry:

      • Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
      • Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
      • Set AppCaptureEnabled to 0.

    This should help stop the Game Bar from popping up while using SQL Prompt via remote desktop.

    It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue where the Windows Game Bar overlay gets triggered while using Remote Desktop when you press the CTRL key, particularly when working with SQL Prompt. This happens because Windows interprets some shortcuts like CTRL as commands for game broadcasting or capturing.

    To prevent this from happening, you can try disabling the Game Bar on your local machine:

    1. Go to Settings > Gaming.
    2. Under Game Bar, turn off the option that says **Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar.

    This should stop the overlay from appearing when you hit CTRL while connected remotely.

    You're facing interruptions from the Game Bar while using SQL Prompt over Remote Desktop. Disabling the Game Bar and Game Mode can help mitigate this issue. Additionally, consider adjusting SQL Prompt settings to change key bindings that conflict with CTRL. For some downtime, you might enjoy downloading the Getting Over It APK for 2024—it’s a fun and challenging game!

    It sounds like the Xbox Game Bar is causing the issue. Try disabling it in Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. This reminds me of Dr. Driving, where smooth controls are key—just like uninterrupted focus is vital for a remote desktop session. Fixing this will make your work (or gaming) much smoother!

    To disable the Game Bar prompt in Remote Desktop, you can turn it off in Windows settings under Gaming > Xbox Game Bar or via Group Policy for enterprise setups. This improves performance, especially in remote sessions. For sandbox simulation fans like us in WorldBox, disabling distractions like Game Bar can give a smoother experience when experimenting with civilizations and natural disasters
